Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
When I began I was terrified The path was unknown
What if everyone rejects me? What if I end up all alone? What if this is all in my head? What if I'm wrong?
Every step was scary Every step revealed a new challenge Companions vanished Replaced by new ones Instability was the only constant
One step at a time I've made it this far I'm not carefully treading now I'm running Thrilled to see what lies ahead
This is what I want This is who I am
Lights out Dark with a chill Animals are asleep No cars on the road
I gazed into the mirror And realized one day That my inside and outside Looked nothing alike
I've chipped away at it Piece by piece As if assembling a puzzle Of who I really am
I've assembled the puzzle To reveal my inside on the outside And with each piece, I see me More clearly than before
Now I can see my style And my heart is shining with joy Because I love who I am Inside and outside
I've started doing some recordings of poems. So far, just two, and both from my new book. Also, recorded with my phone, so... quality could be better. Still, you can check them out! I'm trying to add new ones each Friday to document my progress with voice therapy.

My Beautiful Sky is available for digital download!
Love It came and went but the love I have for me will never fade
Time moves on and the seasons turn Friends come and go And the days grow cold
Sparkling stars fall all around me as I dance and twirl under the full moon
It may never be easy to share who you really are Will it feel good to open up? Or will it only create a new scar?

My next book is in the works. I've got the poems written, and I'm starting to proofread and organized them. This is happening!!
